A 20-year-old man has been charged with murder in a dispute over a drug deal in the South Chicago neighborhood in June, police said.

Mutui Giwa, of the 7700 block of South Coles Avenue, was charged late Wednesday in the fatal shooting of Adrian Cantor, 29, who died early June 12 after the shooting three days earlier, authorities said.

Giwa shot Cantor in the chest during a dispute in the 8900 block of South Burley Avenue, according to a release from police News Affairs. The two had been arguing over a potential drug deal just before 6 p.m. on June 9 when the shooting took place, according to police.
